Thursday Will be The Warmest

High pressure will dominate Stateline weather for one more day. It actually sprawls across most of the nation. Because of the low humidity, temperatures will fall all the way down into the upper 30's overnight. There is a possibility of patchy fog in some low lying frural areas late tonight.  Very mild air over the plains will push across the Stateline on Thursday elevating afternoon temperatures into the upper 60's. It is possible that some parts of northern Illinois may reach 70 degrees.  A cold front will push across the area early on Friday ushering in colder air. The front will slide slowly off to the southeast as low pressure develops on the front. Rain will change to snow on Friday night and continue on Saturday, ending as snow showers on Sunday.  It will be a wet snow, and it is too early to tell how much snow will accumulate across the Stateline, but it does appear that there will be some accumulation. The weekend will be much colder as Canadian air sweeps across the area with the snow on Saturday.  Highs will only be in the upper 30's on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.  Temperatures will moderate back up into the 50's by Tuesday along with a chance of rain.
